"Clearly the best available
regional or state fish book."Library Journal

This
magnificent, encyclopedic reference to 157 fish specieswhich
are found not only in Wisconsin but also in much of the Great
Lakes region and Mississippi River watershedhas been a
model for all other such works. In addition to comprehensive
species accounts, Becker discusses water resources and fisheries
management from both historical and practical policy perspectives.

"One of
the best three or four books of its kind ever written."Rudolph J. Miller, American Zoologist

George C. Becker was emeritus professor of biology
and the former curator of fishes at the University of WisconsinStevens
Point.
